Hi Wei,

I am wondering about the relationship between the above and
hardware support for CHECKSUM_COMPLETE.

Prior to this patch CHECKSUM_COMPLETE was always used, which seems
desirable. But with this patch, CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY is conditionally used.

If those cases don't work with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE then is this a bug-fix?

Or, alternatively, if those cases do work with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, then
I'm unsure why this change is necessary or desirable. It's my understanding
that from the Kernel's perspective CHECKSUM_COMPLETE is preferable to
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
